"Expanding our operations in the City of Allentown made the most sense for us," said Larry Dalesandro, the company's chief financial officer. "We have a great track record in Allentown, and we appreciate the assistance offered by the commonwealth of Pennsylvania."

The company received a funding offer from the state Department of Community and Economic Development, including $52,000 in job creation tax credits and a $23,400 guaranteed free training grant to be used for new employees. The company also will be eligible to apply for a $450,000 loan from the Machinery and Equipment Loan Fund to be repaid within 10 years.

The company also is working with the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority in obtaining a low-interest loan for a portion of the project costs.
